Detailed Description

High-level graph node category for editor grouping and compile scheduling.

Member Enumeration Documentation

Enumerator
Emitter	Nodes that spawn new particles, typically at the beginning of the graph.
Initialize	Nodes that set initial state for particles, typically after emission.
Simulation	Nodes that perform per-frame simulation updates, typically in the middle of the graph.
Solver	Nodes that perform constraint solving or iterative updates, typically after the main simulation step.
Constraint	Nodes that apply constraints to particle state, such as collision response or custom rules, typically after solvers.
Collision	Nodes that perform collision detection and response, typically after solvers or as part of constraint solving.
Event	Nodes that emit or consume events, which can be used for communication between nodes or with the game engine, typically at any point in the graph.
Render	Nodes that prepare particle data for rendering, such as billboard generation or GPU sorting, typically at the end of the graph.
Utility	Nodes that perform general-purpose data processing or graph logic, such as math operations, attribute manipulation, or flow control. Can be scheduled flexibly based on their function and dependencies.
IO	Nodes that perform input/output operations, such as reading/writing buffers, loading resources, or interfacing with engine systems. Can be scheduled flexibly based on their function and dependencies.
Custom	Custom category for user-defined nodes that don't fit into the above categories. Scheduling can be determined by user-defined rules or editor settings.
